It was discovered that the Transmission web interface was vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted web page in a browser while Transmission was running, an attacker could trigger commands in Transmission. This issue affected Ubuntu 9.04. (CVE-2009-1757)

Dan Rosenberg discovered that Transmission did not properly perform input validation when processing torrent files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted torrent file, an attacker could overwrite files via directory traversal. (CVE-2010-0012).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
